In my reading of the spec, this is what is required (**emphasis mine**): --- "all-names" Name expansion has the dual purpose of disambiguating cites and names. All rendered ambiguous names, in both ambiguous and umambiguous cites, are subject to disambiguation. **Each name is progressively transformed until it is disambiguated.** Names that can not be disambiguated remain in their original form. "by-cite" Default. As "all-names", but the goal of name expansion is limited to disambiguating cites. Only ambiguous names in ambiguous cites are affected, and **disambiguation stops after the first name that eliminates cite ambiguity**. --- Rintze
